Quick Takes From the Riverfront

Rockford's Rock River Bike Path was dedicated in 1976 as a Bicentennial project, much the same way we had projects to mark the Millennial in 2000.  Almost 40 years on Rockford's riverfront has been transformed!  We still have a ways to go, but the progress and beautification is undeniable.  I took a couple of quick photos while out on a walk today (a short walk since there was a really cold breeze) and wanted to share.  Look for more on this blog about the river in the future.  Note: clicking on the pictures opens a much larger version in a new browser tab.
